Going Green THIS BRIDGEHAMPTON FARMSTAND HAS THE FRESHEST CROP, THE MOST IN-DEMAND LOCAL INGREDIENTS, AND THE KINDEST FAMILY OVERSEEING IT ALL. BY AMY PALMER

PHOTOGRAPHY BY ERIC STRIFFLER

e stumbled upon the Serene Green Farm Stand on the way to the beach on Ocean Road in Bridgehampton last summer. My boyfriend, Chris, and I were delighted to pick through the farmstand’s fresh blackberries and strawberries and grab a bag of Tate’s cookies before hitting the Bridgehampton sand for the day. It is here that our weekend tradition of stocking up on Hamptons produce began. Run by locals Laura and John Smith, the farmstand is our summer weekend gateway as well as a go-to pit stop for our guests, who always request a trip there when they visit. A weekly newsletter arrives in our inbox every Thursday about what’s in season, a friendly reminder that the weekend is coming. And we’ve learned not to wait until the last minute—the freshest produce goes quickly for those in the know. The Smiths work as a team, and it shows—John’s family’s farming roots date back to 1640 in Water Mill, and his expertise is evident as he speaks to his customers about what’s fresh. Meanwhile, Laura, who manages the front of the house, talks about the latest run for the Red Horse Market mozzarella that local celebrity mainstay Pasquale Langella makes on a daily basis and delivers to Serene Green—warm and ready to devour. As we cut up the ripe tomatoes and the mozzarella cheese, drizzle the plate with balsamic vinaigrette, and devour it with our family and guests, our end-of-day ritual—and our idea of the perfect summer day—is complete. 3980 Noyac Road, Sag Harbor, 334-6311; serenegreeninc.com H

Czech model Petra Nemcova is a television host and widely respected philanthropist for the Happy Hearts Fund, the organization she founded and now chairs. The charity, which rebuilds schools in areas struck by natural disasters, was formed in response to the injuries she suffered in the 2004 tsunami that devastated Thailand. Nemcova suffered a broken pelvis and was told she’d never walk again, but, instead, her strong spirit led her to rebuild her modeling career. Recently, she added entrepreneur to her list of accomplishments, launching Be the Light New York, a luxury home-décor brand. Reinventing oneself is something that designer Donna Karan also knows quite a bit about. Over the course of her three decades in fashion, she has survived the loss of her husband, Stephen, Follow me on Twitter at and the ever-fluctuating fashion market.

From the person who coifs our hair, namely Julien Farel, a guru to quite a few, to what baubles to wear, such as those from jewelry designer Lele Sadoughi, or former Bloomberg TV correspondent Gigi Stone Woods’ suggestions for how to dress for the beach, it’s the people who call the Hamptons home who are driving the trends. As we start to think about our fall wardrobes, Nemcova’s style sets the right tone for me: perfect to-theknee Michael Kors boots, a classic Ralph Lauren Black Label Chesterfield coat, and a slate satin-backed, side-twist dress from Jason Wu. I could see myself in all of it—and the very best part is that all of it is sold at the chicest clothing boutique on the East End, Gail Rothwell in East Hampton. Be well, dress well…

FROM THE PUBLISHER

With interior designer, author, and television personality Nate Berkus celebrating his Hamptons magazine cover at Capri Southampton.

ABOVE:

At Southampton Hospital’s 56th annual Summer Party, themed Endless Summer, with my friend Dennis McDermott, owner of The Riverhead Project. LEFT: To all our interns— Brittany Matters, Nicole Burns, Michael Decker, Christine Phillips, Lauren Betancourt, Emily Bennett, and Meghan Yager (NOT PICTURED)—thank you for a fantastic summer!

Late-summer weekends force us to savor the moments and make memories we will enjoy for a long time to come because we know that the season will soon be over. Around this time we have a special appreciation for poolside barbecues using the freshest local ingredients and clambakes laden with fish from the ocean and shellfish from our bays. This weekend, Guild Hall hosts Celebrity Autobiography; Alec Baldwin, Tony Danza, Christie Brinkley, Tovah Feldshuh, Susan Lucci, Ralph Macchio, Jerry O’Connell, and others will be reading and acting out passages from celebrity memoirs. Also this weekend, we look toward the third annual Pet Hero Awards Ceremony and VIP Reception, which will be held in Water Mill. This event will celebrate individuals, Follow me on Twitter at associations, professionals, and business @debrahalpert and on organizations that demonstrate a hamptons-magazine.com commitment to improving and protecting the lives of animals. Guests will celebrate with philanthropist Andy Sabin and other pet hero award winners at this year’s ceremony. We have fall fashion on our minds as well. As we think about putting layers of clothing back on, we look forward to the stylish trends featured in this issue to help keep us warm. I’m sure our features will inspire you when planning next season’s look. When I joined Hamptons magazine as its publisher nine seasons ago, my first cover and subsequent party was with Petra Nemcova; we reunite in this issue, and it’s a delight to have her back. Enjoy these last days of summer, have a wonderful local meal, wrap yourself in a fabulous new sweater, and I’ll see you in town.

hair. Not only does it offer easier maintenance during the hot and humid season, but it also provides a fresh, chic, and sophisticated look. It’s sexy and delivers an edgy aesthetic. Which Hamptons event are you most looking forward to this summer? I always look forward to Labor Day because it is much

less crowded. The weather during September is absolutely beautiful and the ocean water is the warmest.

At a Crossroads INTERIOR DESIGNER AND SOUTHAMPTONITE LISA JACKSON EXPANDS HER REPERTOIRE WITH A DEBUT FINE-JEWELRY LINE, LJ CROSS, AND A SOON-TO-ARRIVE LUXURY LIFESTYLE COLLECTION. BY R. COURI HAY PHOTOGRAPHY BY DOUG YOUNG

“I

own so many hats, I should own a hat shop,” says Lisa Jackson, whose list of responsibilities includes interior designer, jewelry entrepreneur, wife, mother, and a student in the Harvard Executive Program. “I have a great amount of responsibility; I am a working girl—it’s really what I love to do.” Known for a minimalist aesthetic featuring lots of textures and a pale palette—including her signature colors, dove gray and white—Jackson has designed spaces for Renée Zellweger, Michael J. Fox, Tory Burch, and her best friend, Vera Wang. This spring, Jackson took a step in a new direction and launched LJ Cross, a fashion-forward jewelry line of gem-encrusted cross pendants, created alongside fine-jewelry designer Ward Kelvin, who has worked with both David Yurman and Tiffany & Co. “I had the urge to do something else creative,” says Jackson, who began designing crosses as a tribute to her late brother, Steven, who consistently wore several crosses at a time. “LJ Cross is very much an extension of my aesthetic,” says Jackson of the debut collection that includes Cobblestone, a white-gold grouping with burnished white diamonds; Mosaic, a rose-gold grouping with different-shaped champagne diamonds; and an organic pearl collection. “I love art and I am drawn to old things because they have history and character; this jewelry is the same way. It’s diamonds for the beach. It’s modern; it reflects who I am as a person and how I look at my life. I’m really quite proud of our debut collection, and I know that my brother would be as well.” The jewelry line is the starting point of what Jackson plans to grow into a full luxury lifestyle collection, including bejeweled clutches and fur accessories, and gift items like hand-blown glass vases and perfumed candles. Currently available at Jangeorge in Sag Harbor and East Hampton, LJ Cross will unveil its first freestanding boutique on New York City’s Madison Avenue at 77th Street in October. Before she launched LJ Cross, the designer founded Lisa Jackson Ltd., an interior design firm with its own unique furniture line and tabletop business. In 2006 she purchased Lucca & Co.; there, she took on the role of both CEO and designer, creating made-to-measure furniture and signature tabletop items to be sold along with a well-edited inventory of international antiques, and decorative and fine arts. “I speak many languages—I speak shipping-ese, banking-ese, but at the core, I am a designer,” she says. “I love to design things, and I love to create things. That is really my buzz.” With all that’s on her plate, Jackson’s Southampton home, Blue Haven, is a place to escape the urban grind alongside her husband, Donald, and two kids, Tate and Quinn. “This house transcends everything we do at a breakneck pace in New York City,” says Jackson, who spent summers in Southampton as a teen. “I just roll in and am immediately transformed and relaxed.”

Built in the late 1800s, Blue Haven is a local landmark famous for the parties its previous owner hosted in its basement replica of El Morocco in the ’60s, explains Jackson. “We did make a conscious decision to restore the Italian cobalt-blue tile roof, which really makes this traditional Southampton home a standout,” she says. “I designed our family beach house so that there’s nothing in it that’s precious. It doesn’t tie me down. It’s all about creating an environment where everybody can gather and have a great time.” On weekends, Jackson enjoys playing tennis, golfing, swimming in the ocean, riding her pink Shinola bike, or surfing at Ditch Plains; she also stops in for a visit with friends at their East End boutiques, including Jan Oostdijk at Jangeorge, Natash Esch at MONC XIII, and Mona Nerenberg at Bloom. “I really like to relax on the weekends, although I will do exhibits at the Parrish Art Museum and attend Robert Wilson events because I want to be supportive of the arts,” she says. “I’m a very casual person, though. My feet are always kicked up on an ottoman.” H

“I love to design things, and I love to create things. That is really my buzz.” —LISA JACKSON

Face First SKINCARE GURUS NOREEN AND PETER THOMAS ROTH HELP HAMPTONITES STAY HEALTHY IN THE SUMMER SUN. BY RACHEL FELDER purple flowers, willow trees, and a Country French décor that feels more upscale chic than summer-specific beachy. On Sundays, the family heads to Flying Point Beach in their white pickup truck, always at sunset, where they set up a bonfire, roast marshmallows, and make s’mores. And while the weekends are for family fun, the Roths—including sons Brendan, 14, and Ryan, 16, as well their large toy rescue poodles, Mollie and Katie, and, frequently, Peter’s mother—often find the time comes with plenty of product research. “The formulas come in many versions and we’re trying them out,” says Peter. “No one’s exempt,” adds Noreen, “so the kids are trying them, we’re trying them, and we’re smearing them on Peter’s mom.” Only two family members get a pass. Says Peter, “We don’t test on animals, so nothing goes on the dogs.” Ricky’s,50 Main St., East Hampton, 329-7588; peterthomasroth.com H

“M

y products alone raised almost a million dollars for ovarian cancer over the years,” says Peter Thomas Roth, whose eponymous skincare brand is a regular participant in the Hamptons’ annual Super Saturday shopping benefit. Although Roth and his wife, Noreen, love spending summer weekends in the Hamptons, there’s one popular seasonal pastime they never partake in—sunbathing. “We don’t do sun,” says Noreen, who favors the company’s camu camu- and arbutin-based CC Cream sunscreen. “We’re shade magnets. We’re in the skincare business: SPF is what we preach.” That 21-year-old skincare business—called simply Peter Thomas Roth—is sold in boutiques in more than 80 countries, including China and Germany. Closer to home, Ricky’s in East Hampton carries a full line of the brand, including products that tackle skin issues, such as aging, acne, dryness, dark spots, and—indeed—the need for sun protection. The couple works together at their lab in New Jersey, with Peter concentrating on the look and formulations of their products (and appearing as the face of the brand on QVC) and Noreen focusing on operations, sales, and manufacturing. On weekends, the family can typically be found relaxing on their shaded poolside veranda in Southampton. “It’s very traditional,” says Peter of the home they were inspired to buy following a trip last summer to St-Tropez, where they rented a large house in the hills. “You could see it either in Southampton or the South of France.” That distinctive look includes huge iron gates enrobed with

That’s the Ticket! The popular Hamptons InternatIonal FIlm FestIval launches a weekend-long movie series for children. BY NATALIE RINN

ummertime equals beach time in the Hamptons—especially for kids who for three blissful months are free from hours of textbooks and homework. But what happens when thunderclouds gather? This year, Hamptons International Film Festival (HIFF) has an antidote for the perfect summer storm (or summer malaise) and, to boot, it’s great fun for the entire family: a weekend at the movies. Starting August 22, HIFF’s Summer Family Film Festival provides three days of kid-friendly films at Southampton Arts Center, the yearold cultural hub on Jobs Lane in Southampton Village. Programming begins Friday with Charlie Chaplin silent shorts, accompanied by live piano. Through Sunday, a selection of classic and present-day films will be featured, including Disney animated shorts, a harrowing

documentary from Disneynature, Bear, and, from Swedish director Lukas Moodysson, the tale of three punk rock girls from 1980s Stockholm, We Are The Best! The festival closes with the blockbuster How to Train Your Dragon 2 at the Southampton UA. “We wanted to present a mixture of stuff for older kids and younger kids, newer films and some more classic films that not many people who aren’t in the film world actually would have seen,” says Artistic Director David Nugent. For 22 years, HIFF has hosted a week of award-winning independent features and documentaries at venues throughout the East End, kicking off this year on October 9. Over time, programming has expanded to continued on page 66

continued from page 64 incorporate an enticing grab bag of film-based events that spans the calendar year. Alec Baldwin hosts the popular SummerDocs documentary and discussion series (the final installment of which will be on August 29). Retrospectives from Hollywood legends like Alfred Hitchcock screen in the winter; screenwriting labs and workshops for emerging talent and students are held in the spring and summer. Creating a separate festival for kids was the natural next step for the ever-evolving nonprofit, said HIFF Executive Director Anne Chaisson, one of only four year-round employees. “There’s so much we do with so little staff, people would be astonished to know how much we pull off,” says Chaisson, who describes herself as having been “intimately involved” with the festival since 2000 as the founder of the advisory board and strategic development director. The Hamptons may be rife with capacious venues suited for a plethora of events, but summertime is especially crowded, and organizing a brand-new festival required a large-enough venue that, magically, had not been spoken for. “The fact that this organization came [to the Hamptons] is the reason that we’re able to have a festival in the summer,” says Chaisson of the Southampton Arts Center, the beautifully preserved structure in the former Parrish Art Museum on Jobs Lane. HIFF has hosted Oscarwinning selections for five out of the last six years and screened the East Coast premiere of recent hits like Argo, Slumdog Millionaire, and The King’s Speech. The family festival may cater to a younger audience but, just as for the main event, Chaisson and Nugent set a high bar. “It’s amazing how hard it is to find PG-rated films that have some sort of serious narrative arc to them,” says Chaisson.

Says Chaisson, “We want to make sure there is some dialogue around the filmmaking because that is the thrill of being a part of the film festival.” The programming is a treat for young audiences most definitely, but another group might benefit as well. “So many parents told us that from August 15 to Labor Day there is nothing for their kids to do; if it’s raining, they’re in big trouble,” says Chaisson. “They wanted something more challenging for the kids to see and do. We’re providing another option.” The Hamptons International Film Festival Summer Family Film Festival takes place August 22–24 with screenings at the Southampton Arts Center, 25 Jobs Lane, 283-0967, and at the UA Southampton 4, 43 Hill St., 287-6235.

Operating in two sess ions, the five-day camp will offer programs for 150 children per session, ages pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. Kids can also do full-day sessions. Nets rookie Cory Jefferson will attend on August 26, while former Nets star Albert King will be teaching at the camp on August 27, followed by new head coach Lionel Hollins on August 29. “It should be an incredible week of instruction and a fun week of basketball for all the kids who have enrolled,” says Yormark. “It’s a great message for our fans and for our brand that we’re expanding into new areas and doing different things, and most importantly, getting the kids involved in the sport and hopefully growing up as Nets fans.” The first-ever Brooklyn Nets Hamptons Basketball Camp Powered by Dribbl takes place August 25–29 at the Southampton Town Recreation Center, 1370A Majors Path, Southampton, 287-1511; visit dribbl.com for details.

etween the paddleboarding, golf, equestrianism, and tennis, the Hamptons has firmly established itself as a sporting community. Come August 25, there’s a new game in town when the inaugural Brooklyn Nets Hamptons Basketball Camp Powered by Dribbl kicks off at the Southampton Town Recreation Center. “You learn so many lessons playing sports, but basketball, in particular, because it’s a team game,” says Dribbl cofounder and CEO Teddy Frischling. “Dribbl is a great platform,” says Brooklyn Nets and Barclays Center CEO Brett Yormark, whose 10-year-old son, Drake, has participated in Dribbl events in the Hamptons and in the city. “They do play games, but they also teach the values of the game; it’s not just purely instruction. They talk about sportsmanship and teamwork—those are not just basketball lessons, those are life lessons. Parents today live and die with every shot, and these kids are too young to do that; let’s teach them the real reasons to be out there—the hard work, the fitness. Let’s put winning on the shelf and think about the more important things, and that’s what Dribbl does and that’s why I’m really excited about partnering with them.” Frischling founded Dribbl 20 years ago this fall primarily as a weekend program to teach basketball in a friendly environment. “It started with the idea that you shouldn’t be told at 9 or 10 years old you couldn’t play basketball because you’re not good enough to make that traveling team,” says Frischling, who is also the athletic director at The Dalton School as well as the coach of the boys varsity basketball team. “[Kids] might like [the sport] for a different reason, and they should be able to play and have a good time. Dribbl is a recreational, instructional league; everyone who comes out plays equally.”

Between the Lines ALEC, SUSAN, RALPH, AND CHRISTIE BRING THE CELEBRITY AUTOBIOGRAPHY TO LIFE DURING AN AWARD-WINNING COMEDY SHOW AT GUILD HALL.

reated by writer and producer Eugene Pack, Celebrity Autobiography features a roster of rotating performers who interpret the autobiographies of celebrities such as Sylvester Stallone, Barbra Streisand, Ricky Martin, and Burt Reynolds with no more than an improvised reading. “I came across the autobiography of Vanna White from Wheel of Fortune, called Vanna Speaks, and was very curious as to how she filled up all those pages,” says Pack. “I started to read a paragraph out loud to myself where she talks about how challenging it is to flip the panels on the show—you can’t write something like that.” Launched in 2008 at the Off-Broadway Triad Theatre, the show has seen such stars as Ryan Reynolds, Kristen Wiig, and Bob Balaban take the stage. On August 22, Guild Hall will host actors including Ralph Macchio, Alec Baldwin, Christie Brinkley, Tony Danza, Susan Lucci, and Jerry O’Connell, among other talents, reading from a selection of Hollywood memoirs. “There’s no embellishment outside of your reading of the words—that’s where the comedy lies,” says Macchio, one of the show’s regulars. “For my

first time, I did David Cassidy, which was hilarious in itself because of the ’80s teen idol connection.” A comedian at heart, Pack realized the material’s potential as a new form of stand-up comedy. And while the concept of memoir-reading is a simple one, the approach requires a level of comedic know-how. “They always say tragedy and time make for comedy,” says Macchio. “It’s about picking celebrities or specific excerpts that play on the general knowledge of events that have happened since.” The 90-minute performances feature both solo and ensemble pieces that include themed mash-ups whereby performers play off of each other’s excerpts; for example, combining the autobiographies of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton is especially popular. “It’s not a mean-spirited show,” says Pack. “We do it in earnest and commit to the material, which just happens to be unintentionally hilarious.” Celebrity Autobiography will have two showings on August 22 at Guild Hall, 158 Main St., East Hampton, 324-0806; guildhall.org.

TASTE CLOCKWISE FROM LEFT: Summer vegetable salad with aged feta from Bay Kitchen Bar; Adam Miller, general manager, and Eric Miller, executive chef of the restaurant; the restaurant is right on the waterfront in East Hampton.

continued from page 73 The dining room layout has a certain naval show, too: Five ranks of tables (102 seats), two rows inside, three outside on the terrace, with those on the rail putting one right under the setting sand-dollar sun. It throws slants of cinematographer shadow across the dining room, transforming a high-cheeked brunette two tables over into a Craigslist Missed Connection. But even from the back-wall banquettes (royal blue and piped in pink), one has a prime view of a landscape—receding, slim-fingered headlands, scraggles of pine and squiggles of marsh, the bay lightly chevroned—that just calls out for rendering in brisk, slim, charcoal horizontals. The owner and chef is Eric Miller, who in this age of talkative toques is disarming in his use of simple declarative sentences—“little twists on classic seafood dishes,” he says when asked to define the cuisine. And then, when I ask about Bay Kitchen Bar’s place in the East End restaurant ecosystem (getting a bit high-church, I admit), he just says, “We thought that there was no dedicated seafood restaurant between Montauk and East Hampton.” Miller’s E.B. White succinctness (spiced with some New Yawkese) gives no hint of his deep-bench résumé. He started out at The Hemsley Palace Hotel; spent time at La Column d’Or—take a moment to Google it; cooked at Maurice, the great restaurant in the Parker Meridien Hotel, under Christian Delouvrier; Marquis of chocolate with pistachio ice cream.

“ You see that guy standing in the water? That could be my clams tomorrow.” —eric miller owned City Café and Chianti; came out East to buy Food & Co.; and served as a partner and executive chef in the pop-up New American seafood tavern Madison & Main in Sag Harbor. Miller brings foie gras know-how and price-ofbeans solidity to this venture, citing André Soltner as his model: “I can’t let it get past me in the kitchen if it’s not perfect,” he says. Like Soltner, he’s on the line, in at 10 AM to filet fish, and one gets the feeling that in Bay Kitchen Bar, he’s found his homeport. “I’m going to get old here,” he says without prompting. Miller’s governing idea is to think globally about cuisine—lobster ravioli (homemade)—and locally about sourcing, with the idea of supporting the local economy as far as possible. Stewarts in Amagansett is one of his seafood purveyors, but he has a friend, captain of a 100-ton boat, who also supplies fish. “You see that guy standing in the water?” he says, pointing to the shallows across the marina. “That could be my clams tomorrow.” The menu is taxonomic: “raw-and-chilled, small plates, crudo, ceviche, crisp, fish and shellfish, meat, and poultry.” (Don’t fret, carnivores, there is Black Angus sirloin and filet, spit-roasted Long Island duck, and organic roasted chicken.) The dishes are as straightforward as Miller, but subtle, too— technique (but not too much) brought to bear on very good ingredients with judicious small twists: Chickpea flour is used to crust the Montauk calamari, mango, and roasted pineapple salsa under the excellent local fluke crudo with microgreens on top. (Satour and Balsam Farms are the restaurant’s go-to produce suppliers.) On this menu, the words “small plates” are an understatement. The lobster roll is a berm of freshly shucked crustacean on a toasted brioche roll, and the charred baby octopus is one long tentacle on a bed of Pointillist color, finely diced purple cauliflower, yellow pepper, and fava beans, plus couscous and a liberal rasher of parsley. Both were superb, as was the Bay Kitchen Fisherman Soup, a viscous herbed lake usually studded with tuna, fluke, and striped bass, but also with halibut the evening I dined—the recipe varies with the day’s catch. (“The halibut was caught this morning,” Miller says.) The dish could have been my meal. continued on page 76

continued from page 74 The Dayboat scallops were melting and set off by a bed of crisp harvest grains, with herbs and fresh lemon providing the harmony. The striped bass (local, of course) is given a high note through a roasted endive spear topped with caramelized onion and, on the evening I dined, roasted mushrooms alongside. The only dish that fell a bit short was the lobster ravioli. Somehow that plum tomato, fennel, and saffron sauce seemed to smother rather than sing. But at Bay Kitchen Bar, a swing and a miss only serves to highlight the home runs. 39 Gann Road, East Hampton, 329-3663; baykitchenbar.com H Muddled blackberry mint julep.

Look to bold, full-bodied reds to pair with duck.

Red State COCKTAIL MENU “Small spurs on classic cocktails,” says owner Eric Miller’s son Adam, who created the cocktail and wine list and manages the dining room. (He also worked with Scott Rominger of Architecture at Large on the interior design.) Adam’s wine list is well cherry-picked and notable for having 21 bottles for less than $50. Given the seafood bias of the restaurant’s menu, make a choice between the Remy Pannier Muscadet ($38), the Domaine Paul Cherrier Sancerre ($45), or the Ritratti Pinot Grigio Alto Adige ($36). For a bit more, choose the Antinori Conti della Vipare (The Viper Count, $60) Sauvignon Blanc blend—and read about the Viper Count in Piero Antinori’s autobiography, which comes out this fall. As for the cocktails, the Honey Peach Bellini’s main ingredient comes from the Riverhead Farmers Market, says Adam. The Bay Kitchen Gimlet lives up to his contention that the drinks are “nice refreshing pairings,” and the Violet Collins is worth ordering just for the candied violet ice cube floating in the Edinburgh gin, fresh lemon, and club soda.

lthough many local duck farms have shuttered over the decades, Long Island duck remains an iconic taste. (You can still find a few area purveyors, such as Crescent Duck farm in Aquebogue.) But even if the bird doesn’t have authentic East End provenance, the wine to pair with that flavorful bird can still be a Long Island bottle. In general, look to bold, full-bodied reds to pair with duck, advises Michael Cinque, owner of Amagansett Wines & Spirits. “Duck has a gaminess to it,” he explains, “and you want a wine that won’t get pushed around by that.” For example, he favors wines made with the “rustic” notes of Syrah, the “round, earthy, smoky element” that Cabernet Franc can lend, the plumminess of Malbec, and the approachable dark chocolate/espresso notes of Merlot. Specific recommendations from Long Island wineries include Clovis Point’s 2007 Archaeology bottling ($60), a red blend made with 56 percent Merlot, “which makes it friendly and easy to drink,” Cinque says. Other varietals in

the blend include Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Syrah. Overall, “it’s a very interesting wine,” providing such a harmonious pairing that “it’s almost like seasoning the duck.” Other picks include Bedell’s Cellars’ juicy and ripe Cabernet Franc 2012 ($60) and Jamesport Vineyard’s Sidor Reserve 2007 ($40, a limited edition, with only 300 cases made), a full-bodied Syrah blend. And let’s not forget the label Cinque coowns, Red Hook Winery, which produces a duck-friendly Black and Blue red blend, rich with Cabernet Franc and Merlot ($45, only 250 cases made). “It’s made with the primary grape varieties that grow in the North Fork,” Cinque explains, adding that it works better with a “heavier, spicier duck preparation.” Of course, white-wine lovers need not be excluded: Cinque recommends a barrel-fermented Chardonnay, such as the 2012 vintage made by Paumanok Vineyards ($24), to pair with smoked duck. “The woodiness gives the weight,” he says, “so the wine won’t be overpowered.” Amagansett Wine & Spirits, 203 Main St., Amagansett, 267-3939 H

from roasted peppers, tomato, garlic, almonds, and healthy doses of red wine vinegar, and olive oil. Executive Chef Noah Schwartz from Noah’s (136 Front St., Greenport, 4776720; chefnoahs.com) skips the breast and instead prepares duck leg confit, which involves salt-curing the duck then slow-cooking it in fat for six hours. The tender meat is then hand-pulled and finished with a pomegranate molasses and chipotle barbecue sauce that strikes a balance of sweet and heat. The meat is served over yellow polenta finished with Vermont smoked cheddar. Todd Jacobs, executive chef and owner of Fresh Hamptons (203 Bridgehampton Sag Harbor Tpk., Bridgehampton, 537-4700; freshhamptons.com), who sources his duck from Raleigh’s Poultry Farm, says a healthier, happier bird also tastes better. “The flavor profile is clean and delicious, and the meat to bone/fat ratio is unsurpassed,” says Jacobs. He prepares the breast and leg separately using different cooking methods to retain optimal flavor. But for a showstopping presentation, order the whole duck served with Cabernet Franc and tart cherry sauce for a family-style feast. Red Bar Brasserie’s (210 Hampton Road, Southampton, 283-0704; redbar brasserie.com) incarnation is well suited for a cool evening and a glass of Long Island red wine.

hile many consider the fishing industry to be the East End’s culinary crux, Long Island duck has been an essential part of the local economy since the first arrival of Peking duck to Suffolk County in 1873. Two names that often will be found on restaurant menus include Aquebogue’s Crescent Duck Farm (crescentduck.com), a fifth-generation family operation that relies on years of scientific research at Cornell University, as well as the sandy soil and humid climate, to yield a beautifully robust (and antibiotic-free) duck; and Raleigh’s Poultry Farm in Kings Park, which produces organic duck along with other poultry and vegetables. The key to a perfectly cooked duck breast (medium-rare with a crispy skin) is to begin skin side down in a cold pan. The slowly increasing heat renders the fat without overcooking the meat. Executive Chef Damien O’Donnell of Harbor Bistro (313 Three Mile Harbor-Hog Creek Road, East Hampton, 3247300; harborbistro.net) goes one step further and uses a Chinese five-spice dry rub on the breast before finishing it in the oven. Served with an Asian vegetable stir-fry, soba noodles, and a garnish of crispy wonton-spun beet salad, the dish is super tasty. Duck can withstand bold flavors without getting lost, which is a culinary tactic taken advantage of by co-chefs Ed Lightcap and Justin Finney at Rowdy Hall (10 Main St., East Hampton, 324-8555; rowdyhall.com). Its variation is served with Israeli couscous tossed with mint and spring peas. The dish’s kick comes from housemade romesco—a classic Spanish sauce made

In a large pot of lightly salted boiling water, cook the pasta for 6 to 8 minutes, until al dente. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water. Add the pasta to the sauce and cook for 1½ to 2 minutes, tossing gently. If the sauce is too thick, add some of the reserved cooking water. Transfer the pasta to a serving platter, arranging the whole crabs on top. Serve immediately.

t seems like yesterday [that it all began],” says longtime Hamptonite Donna Karan of her eponymous label’s 30th anniversary. “I’m writing my autobiography right now and reflecting back on the whole thing.” Karan started her design house in 1984 with the goal of creating a company that filled some fashion needs—“trying to make a pair of jeans that actually fit,” for example, and stylish clothes for real women entering the workforce in record numbers. Her tightly edited core collection, Seven Easy Pieces (a bodysuit served as the fundamental element) that could take women from day to night, revolutionized the way urban women dressed. Her spot-on insights into the needs of working women as they climbed the ranks helped fuel her success, propelling the company into the forefront of American fashion design. Those early design principles still impact her collections today. “It’s all about the scarf and the body, and harks back to the original collection with the bodysuit,” says Karan of her Fall 2014 collection. “You can cover up what you want to cover up and show what you want to show. You can go from day to night easily with the tailoring and the chiffon.” Early in her career, Karan realized that she was dressing people on the

outside and not “addressing” people on the inside. “I would be backstage or in a dressing room and inevitably someone would say, ‘My father has this, my mother has this… I’m in the hospital with this,’” says Karan, who lost her assistant, Clarissa Block, who was also her daughter Gabby’s best friend, to ovarian cancer. In response, Karan helped launch the Hamptons’ annual Super Saturday benefit for the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund with her friend Liz Tilberis, who later lost her battle with the disease. Karan also helped establish Kids4Kids with another friend, Elizabeth Glaser, to benefit what became the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation. “For me, philanthropy and commerce were always things that I believed in very strongly,” says Karan. “We started this with Seventh On Sale, when the AIDS epidemic broke out. How do you bring consciousness to the consumers, to the retailers, and to the world?” Today, Karan says she remains as committed to her philanthropy as she is to her company. When asked if she has any specific goals for the next three decades, Karan responds, “It’ll take more than 30 years to accomplish all I want to do—my Urban Zen Foundation is just taking off; I have endless design ideas, wellness centers I’d love to create, so many new places to travel. It’s what I haven’t done that excites me.” Donna Karan New York, Americana Manhasset, 2060 Northern Blvd., 516-869-0500; donnakaran.com. Urban Zen, 4 Bay St., Sag Harbor, 725-6176; urbanzen.com H

FASHION INDUSTRY VETERANS and longtime Hamptonites Jill Fairchild and Karen Baldwin found themselves vexed when, two and a half years ago, they were unable to find any carryalls with the logo-free aesthetic they sought. Channeling their collective experience—Baldwin had worked in PR for Michael Kors, while Fairchild, whose father founded W Magazine, started the shopping guide series Where to Wear—the pair began designing sleek plastic handbags with distinctive round handles. The Fairchild Baldwin line has now grown to offer a range of beaded necklaces; The Bobby Duffel, a cotton carryall that’s been spotted on the likes of Florence Welch and Valentino Garavani; and a selection of leather handbags.

“I

design that creates a weightless, well-fitting shoe that’s comfortable and also stylish. “I wanted to make sneakers that perform as running shoes, but without taking anything away from the aesthetics,” Armani says. “I applied cutting-edge technologies to the shoe, choosing a refined upper with surprising juxtapositions of fine leathers, colors, and materials. They are combinations that give the shoes a unique character, making them perfect for everyday life.” In late July, Armani served as brand supporter for Baby Buggy’s summer dinner charity event, held at the home of Jessica and Jerry Seinfeld. Very much relevant out East all year long, the collection, including the shoes, the Borgonuovo bag, and even the perfect Armani suit, encapsulates the brand at its core—high-level functionality paired with exquisite design.

Sweet Dreams BONNE NUIT’S SELECTION OF BEAUTIFUL UNDERPINNINGS AND CHILDREN’S WEAR HAS HELPED MAKE THIS MAIN STREET BOUTIQUE A STAPLE OF THE EAST HAMPTON COMMUNITY. BY CARRIE DOYLE PHOTOGRAPHY BY ERIC STRIFFLER

ain Street in East Hampton has changed drastically in the past two decades, with most of the mom-and-pop shops gone and glitzier national stores in their place. Yet Bonne Nuit, a purveyor of high-end lingerie and children’s clothing, is one of the few boutiques that has been able to not only survive but also thrive in the transforming town. Lorna Dreher, the vivacious and effervescent owner, whose taste and warm personality inspire rabid customer loyalty, is a large part of the reason why. It was 1991 and the dollar was strong, and Lorna Dreher (then Lorna Moloney) was in Daytona Beach setting up a Spring Break promotion for a marketing company. Her two older sisters, Leith and Ashlyn—who each owned successful lingerie stores (the former’s Top Drawer stores were in Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard, and Boston, and the latter’s Bonne Nuit store was in New York)—told her it was time to chuck that job and open a lingerie shop so they could all go on buying trips to France together. “I didn’t know if I wanted to open in a ski town, beach town, or what kind of resort town, so I explored all options,” she says while helping a client purge her underwear and bras and refresh for the continued on page 92

a client; the couple now has two daughters, whose input has definitely influenced some of the clothing she carries for kids.) “To remain in business in this tough market, we try to move with our customer base and what is in style,” says Dreher. “At the end of the day, women want beautiful fabrics. Lingerie is the first thing that touches your body, and it should feel perfect. We try to stay true to what is in fashion.” Making the extra effort to be part of the community also contributes to Dreher’s success. “Sometimes the salesgirls from Ralph Lauren walk their clients down to be fitted for the perfect lingerie to go under their new outfits. We also keep notes of items that clients have admired during the summer and email them when those items go on sale in the off-season. And in the dead of winter, our friends and customers come in for chitchat and a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. We’re never bored and always busy.” One brand that became so successful for Bonne Nuit was Eres, the luxury French swim and lingerie line, prompting Dreher to open a freestanding store around the corner in 2011. She recently opened another Eres in Greenwich. It is run with the same personalized service as Bonne Nuit, and it carries the complete label so that shoppers can mix and match top and bottom sizes. “Beautiful lingerie and clothing make you feel beautiful,” says Dreher. “We’re here to see to that.” Bonne Nuit, 55 Main St., Ste.

continued from page 90 season. “I’d never been to East Hampton, but when I made a left at the pond, I said this was the prettiest town I had ever seen, and I don’t want to live anywhere else.” Dreher promptly set up shop on Newtown Lane (with her sister Ashlyn, who is still a business partner) before moving to her current Main Street location in 1994. She stocked her shelves with exquisite items from top-notch brands including La Perla, Pluto, Marie Jo, Andrés Sardá, and Hanro for women, and Bonpoint, CdeC by Cordelia de Castellane, and Lili Gaufrette for children, to name a few. And since then, she has become a go-to destination for intimate apparel. The majority of the merchandise she carries today is lingerie and sleepwear for women as well as clothing for children, but there are also gift items such as Moroccan beach bags, little embroidered makeup satchels, jewelry cases, and swimwear. Cashmere is also very popular, by labels such as John Laing and 360 Cashmere. Ponchos in an array of sorbet colors are among her bestsellers. “When I first opened, it was all heavy lace and push up, but now flat sheer is in fashion,” she says. “Bodysuits have come back, but for underwear. When I started, it was bodysuits as outerwear and tops with lace. Things go out of style then reemerge.” In fact, much of Dreher’s business seems cyclical. She has watched some of her customers grow up before her eyes—starting in her smock dresses, then buying their trousseau there, and then their own daughters’ smock dresses. “It becomes a family affair,” she explains. “My shoppers are amazing, very loyal.” (In fact, Dreher met her husband, Bill Dreher, through

opular New York City hairstylist Julien Farel’s professional life is busy—Farel oversees a roster of top-rated salons, styles the hair of the fashion elite, including Kate Beckinsale, Salma Hayek, and Rafael Nadal, and helms an eponymous line of antiaging haircare that he launched in 2011. This year, he also opened the Julien Farel Restore Salon & Spa at the newly renovated Loews Regency Hotel, and this month, he will have his annual pop-up salon at the US Open. However, when he is at his East Hampton home with his family, simpler things prevail. Here are a few of his favorite quiet-time spots: “It is all about the beach, the sand, the family time,” says Farel of his days spent in East Hampton, where his East End uniform is strictly casual. But that doesn’t stop him from peeking into his favorite shops: “Although I leave my formal wear in NYC, I love checking out the luxe Brunello Cucinelli (39 Newtown Lane, 324-3400; brunellocucinelli.com) shop out

I love wearing the brand’s beach T-shirts that have ‘East Hampton’ embroidered somewhere on them,” Farel explains.

An Interview with Tim Davis’ Son and Protégé, Jonathan Davis has a natural way of connecting to people, it is genuine “Jonathan and sincere. He is a rising star in the real estate community. ” — Tim Davis Tim and Jonathan, Davis Creek

Jonathan, tell me a little about yourself, where did you grow up? I was born and raised in Southampton. I have been very lucky to grow up in such a spectacular place. What made you decide to pursue a career in real estate? My father has been in the business for over 30 years so I have been around real estate my entire life. I’ve seen how hard he works, but also how much flexibility he has had to spend time with his family. I liked that lifestyle and always thought that that’s what I’d be doing someday. Three years ago, we finally spoke at length about my joining the business. The timing was right in both of our lives, and it couldn’t have worked out any better. How old are you? I’m twenty-five. That’s young, do you see this as an advantage or disadvantage? An advantage. I feel I can offer my father a different perspective that sometimes pushes him to step out of his comfort zone and try new things. There is a lot more you can do with real estate than just the norm, and I’m ready to explore the opportunities. How do you see yourself as a part of the Tim Davis brand? My father is ranked #1 broker in the Hamptons and #4 broker in the country. I hope that my creative ideas and thirst to learn the market will help build the brand more. I see myself as a creative mind, I like to think outside the box and open new doors for the brand. I see the advantages of using social media and the Internet. We have created a whole new Tim Davis Website with a blog that I update daily. I also created a Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest presence along with a YouTube channel to showcase our properties. Most of the way we do

business is now digital and people want instant satisfaction. As an agent, it’s important to be aware of society and how it is ever-changing, and you have to be able to adapt. We are in the process of doing several video projects including video tours which I believe will be a great marketing tool for our clients. Tim is the Luxury Market leader. What is your perspective of the luxury market and clients needs from a younger age bracket? With people at this level it is about the service and experience you give them. Buyers and sellers want to feel like they are in good hands and that their best interests are your priority.

Many of our young buyers want all the amenities, pool, tennis, movie theater and smart home technology. They want a home that’s “move in ready.” What does luxury mean to you and how did you come by this understanding? To me, luxury is a feeling you experience that is created by your surroundings. It’s universal and yet highly personal. Growing up, my father always took us on family vacations. He thought it was important to see the world and learn through these experiences. A recent memory, relaxing poolside at the Villa D’Este on Lake Como Italy, is the ultimate form of luxury for me.

Being able to visit these kinds of places opened my understanding of the ﬁner things in life. The quality, the taste the attention to detail. Our clients have highly developed sensibilities and we provide our service on that level. What part did you play in Tim Davis being ﬁlmed for an episode of Million dollar Listing LA? My father and I were out in Los Angeles for business

when I recognized Josh Flagg having a drink at the Beverly Hills Hotel. As a fan of Million dollar Listing LA, I went and introduced myself. He was very welcoming and we set up a lunch the next day at The Ivy. We agreed to keep in touch to forge a business relationship.

In June, he asked if we could shoot an episode in the Hamptons. We shot it in early July. It was a lot of work but we shot some fantastic properties that I think people will be excited to see. You have a holistic view towards marketing properties — how does this relate to the experience of home ownership? You’re not just selling a home, you’re selling a lifestyle. When marketing a property you have to make someone feel like they can see themselves living there. Tim and I understand that we can offer more services and opportunities to our clients beyond just selling them a house. We are working on some things now, that I am every excited about. What do you see in your future? I am living my future. I’m just excited to be learning, working with a great role model and doing my part in growing the brand. As a native, do you have any “Hampton favorites?” One of my favorite places is my Uncle’s café, the Golden Pear. There’s nothing better than an iced coffee after a class at Soul Cycle. When I’m out for dinner my favorite restaurants are; Sant Ambroeus, Bobby Vans and Citta Nuova in East Hampton. Also the nightclub, 1 Oak in Southampton opened up this year. If you are going to go out on the weekend there is no better place to be. Leonardo DiCaprio was even there one night.

ecember 26 marks the 10-year anniversary of the day that completely changed Petra Nemcova’s life. It was the day the tsunami struck Thailand, killing Nemcova’s boyfriend, British photographer Simon Atlee, leaving the model with a broken pelvis and devastating the coastal community. “[I still] remember the tsunami wave that brought lots of suffering, and at the same time, right away, I remember the incredible wave of love and support from so many people around the world, especially in the US,” says Nemcova, who channeled the experience into the launch of her organization, Happy Hearts Fund (happy heartsfund.org), which rebuilds schools following natural disasters. The nine-year-old philanthropy launched its next mission on August 19—a 10-by-10 campaign that aims to raise $10 million before the charity’s 10th anniversary; the day marks the opening of its 90th school, and the organization is on track to open 100 schools by its decade milestone. “[We want to] change the negative connotation of the 10th anniversary of the tsunami wave and create a positive wave—a happy wave.” Today, Nemcova lives in Haiti, where she is continuing her humanitarian work as well as building the candle collection Be the Light New York (bethelightny.com), available at Bergdorf Goodman, which she launched in 2013. The collection not only raises money for Happy Hearts Fund, but also supports local artisans around the globe. Andrew Mandell: Happy Hearts Fund is approaching its 10-year anniversary. What accomplishments are you most proud of? Petra Nemcova: From a numbers standpoint, [I am most proud of] reaching the 100th school by

the 10th anniversary. We are adding two new countries this year—Colombia and the Philippines. I never thought that was going to be possible, because I started with a broken pelvis, not even being able to walk, but still having a very strong desire to help. When I started the foundation, we had to build one school. At the time, it was a big task. If somebody had told me when we started that we would build 100 schools, I would not have believed them. [Laughs] Through the Happy Hearts Fund you’ve come in contact with some amazing philanthropists. Who has inspired you? If I had to mention one individual, it would be Bono. He has been able to inspire so many individuals to think beyond themselves and to think big and to think about the world and the challenges that others are facing. He really used the platform that he has to create tremendous change. There are others who are brilliant too. Marc Benioff, the chairman and CEO of sales force.com, for one. From the beginning, his company put forward the concept of 1 percent of time, 1 percent of shares, and 1 percent of profit going to charity, but he’s been doing more than 1 percent. With his concept, he inspired many other companies to think of making philanthropy part of their DNA, instead of having it as a separate corporate social responsibility. With all the traveling you do for work, how did you first discover the Hamptons? I came out for Super Saturday, which supports ovarian cancer. What do you like most about visiting the Hamptons? Being close to nature and seeing my friends. Because I travel so much, I’m always going somewhere on a plane. Having the opportunity to see my friends is very precious to me. How would you describe your style? Simple with a twist. I think less is more, and I love simplicity, but I always add some kind of personal twist. You started modeling in 1995. How has your style changed since then? That makes me sound so very old [laughs]—a grandmother in the business—but my style has

changed many times over the years. When I was growing up, we were counting pennies and we couldn’t buy clothes, so my mom taught me how to sew at age 11. She would give me her old dresses and skirts, and I would redesign [them for me]. Then, I went into rock ’n’ roll chic, and then I had a hippie phase. You would have laughed at my outfits then, but I really had fun [with fashion]. Who are some of your favorite designers? I love Elie Saab for his sophistication and beautiful, delicate work. Two new designers—Ralph & Russo, who are from London—do really incredible couture. Pucci is always sexy and fun, and I like Hervé Léger. Then for jeans, I love Diesel— I’ve been a big fan of those jeans for many years. For shoes, Tod’s—they’re my go-to for day and travel and make my feet happy [laughs], but if I need to wear a heel for the sex appeal and the red carpet, I love Stuart Weitzman and Jimmy Choo. What made you want to launch Be the Light New York? It was a few different things. I am so lucky to be able to travel around the world and learn about different countries, and their treasures have enriched me. I wanted to pass it on to others, to enrich their lives, enrich their homes. Second, when I meet amazing people, I always want to give them a gift that is meaningful. Many times I don’t know them personally, so it is very hard to choose something. With each candle, I have different ways to show that I care. I wanted a solution to my personal need [laughs], very selfish of me. And the third reason was to fundraise for Happy Hearts. We couldn’t do it right at the beginning, but now we are able to start

“Having tHe opportunity to see my friends [in tHe Hamptons] is very precious to me.” –petra nemcova supporting Happy Hearts and rebuilding [more] schools. How did you select the places that are in the candle collection? Each country has a really special meaning to me. The first collection is six candles, six countries, and I’ve been to each country many times, either as a tourist or because of my fashion work or because of my efforts for the foundation. All of those countries left a really strong mark on my heart and on my life, obviously starting with the Czech Republic, where I grew up. Baking cookies together, it’s not just about gluing the cookies with jam, it’s about gluing the family together with love. Spain is where I used to go a lot for holidays and photo shoots, and Spain is famous for its spiced saffron. Indonesia is where we have the most schools from Happy Hearts; we have lots of schools in Mexico, too. Haiti is my home now; Haiti is a place where I am the most happy. And America has been very crucial for my whole life—it’s where I got opportunities to create my dreams. That’s why the [American candle is scented with] bluebells—they are the flowers that represent gratitude. How do you plan to expand Be the Light New York? There are definitely many scents that are very

close to me, but they haven’t been formed into candles yet. Like, I love the smell of wood—we used to do lots of bonfires as a child, so that’s something I would love to put in a candle. We also started to work on other collections, because The World Collection is made in America. Two other collections, The Made in Peru Collection and The Made in Haiti Collection, are coming soon. Baby alpaca is a very famous treasure from Peru, so we chose that particular treasure to make blankets. The Made in Haiti Collection is still a surprise. It’s very exciting because it’s empowering artisans in Haiti. Tell me more about your commitment to using local artisans. I try to be conscious in my decisions concerning the brand. One of the best ways to empower a nation is through education and job creation. It’s something that takes a little time, but it’s so worth it, because when you empower one artisan, he can feed his whole family, and it gives him pride and great satisfaction. It’s an amazing feeling. Sometimes, [the artisans are] very old ladies, but they don’t want to stop working, they appreciate it so much. They are really amazing individuals, and their work means the world to them. H

RECORD BOOKS In the third installment in our series spotlighting longstanding Hamptons families, we profile the Hildreths, whose lineage has operated an eponymous department store on Southampton’s Main Street for 172 years. BY CARRIE DOYLE PHOTOGRAPHY BY ERIC STRIFFLER

n 1842, John Tyler was President of the United States, Queen Victoria ruled England, and Lewis Hildreth established a general store on Main Street in Southampton. Today, Queen Victoria still holds the record as the longest reigning British monarch (she ruled for more than 63 years) and Hildreth’s, having been in business in the same location for 172 years, has set its own record by being the country’s oldest familyowned department store. (Sadly, President Tyler’s presidency was notably lacking in both longitude and distinction.) But despite this honor, Hildreth’s is not ready to step back and rest on its laurels. That’s never been its style. It’s always been hard work and innovation that allowed it to be the success story that it is. And clearly what has worked for the store is that, since its inception, there has always been a Hildreth at the helm, including today’s current chairman and president, the charismatic Henry Hildreth III. “He’s going to be mayor one day, I swear,” jokes Colleen Hildreth about her husband of 19 years. “He knows everyone in town and he’s been asked.” Henry instantly dismisses the notion. “I’m not into anything big. I’m not big on big government, big politics, and big companies. If I want something done, I want to do it right now and not wait until next week or next year. I am able to do that with this business.” The hands-on, take-charge approach has worked well for Henry. After graduating from college in 1978, he worked in real estate three days a week and the rest of the week for his father, who did not pressure him to enter the family business, but “enthusiastically asked.” With only one foot in the door initially, the turning point came during a

warehouse visit one afternoon. “I found a piece of furniture and I went to the furniture manager and said should we bring this out to the floor; it’s been here since 1969, and now it’s 1978. And he said, ‘Yeah, we’ll do it next week.’ That’s when I knew I had to be involved.” He’s been at the store full-time ever since. Under the current Henry’s reign, Hildreth’s has expanded its original storefront and added a 12,000-square-foot East Hampton location as well as a patio store on West Main Street. Henry converted the alley, once used for horses and buggies, into a nursery department selling baby accessories and clothing. Obviously the business has morphed with the times. Originally, Hildreth’s was more of a grocer, selling dry goods as well as cheese and vegetables. It always had housewares, which are a big focus of the current business, but now the furniture comprises a huge bulk of its sales. Linens, towels, blankets, and sheets from high-end brands such as Matouk, Yves Delorme, and Dash and Albert are also offered in a wide range of colors and styles. Hildreth’s also has an interior design center that specializes in services such as custom-made draperies, slipcovers, window treatments, and cushions. “It’s tougher out there, very competitive,” says Henry of the department stores that now have close to 100 employees. “We have to be on our toes. My buyer can’t say, ‘I think we can sell it,’ it has to be, ‘I know we can sell it.’ We have to be a step ahead and do our homework.”

ou can’t help but like the Hildreths. They are warm and friendly, and despite their esteemed lineage in Southampton, they completely lack pretension. (Henry’s mother’s family were Burnetts, another well-known name in the East End. His maternal grandfather was the first farmer to manufacture a potato digger and owned much of the land in Water Mill, eventually donating Flying Point Beach to the town.) “We’re just plain folk,” explains Colleen, who hails from up-island and was a former nurse and bartender. Now, in addition to raising the couple’s three children, Kailey, Sayre, and Henry, she helps out in the family business, fulfilling whatever needs to be done. “This is us. No false pretenses here, and that’s what we’re proud of.” Both Colleen and Henry make it a point to give back to the town they live in. “We were the only game in town,” says Henry. “And it’s grown because it’s our last name and we have great pride

“WE HIRE FROM THE COMMUNITY AND WE GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY.” —Henry Hildreth III

in it. We want to be able to walk up and down the street without someone throwing eggs at us!” But on a more serious note, he adds, “We’re part of the community. We hire from the community and we give back to the community.” Indeed, Henry was a volunteer fireman for 16 years and was a deacon at the First Presbyterian Church of Southampton, where Colleen teaches Sunday school. They are also passionate about animals, and foster and rescue animals for various organizations, including the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons (ARF). (They also keep a fair number of animals themselves. They converted the barn that Hildreth’s used for storage into a house, but with the addition of animals, they soon outgrew it and moved to a larger home in North Sea, where they have their own barn.) Henry, who has fond memories of his grandfather, Leon “Grampy,” running the store, is excited to work with his family. “I remember Grampy sitting upstairs at his desk—which is my desk now by the way—with three or four women who worked with him, laughing all day,” says Henry. “The floor was slanted so anyone who sat across from him would roll down to the side. He was a great sportsman, very good at golf and tennis, a great fisherman, and would always wear a top hat, which he’d tip when a woman passed.” Asked what Grampy contributed to the business, Henry smiles and repeats, “He was a great sportsman.” He has different opinions about his wife’s contributions. “I bounce ideas off Colleen. She’s a great visual merchant. She’s basically my rock and my sounding board for everything.” And the Hildreths are delighted that the kids are all

working for them this summer. All three have been helping their parents make deliveries. Kailey is even taking a gap year between high school and college to learn more about the business. “I did Instagram for Hildreth’s last year, and I’d like to learn more about buying and social media,” she says. “Now that Pottery Barn is here, we want to get more competitive,” adds Colleen. “Kailey and I plan to work together in the fall and see what we can change. The kids are amazing. Everyone’s up at 6 AM to get to work, no complaints; they’re out on the road, lifting, carrying, and getting feedback from the customers.” The current Hildreths in charge of the family store would no doubt make their ancestors proud of the legacy they cherish and sustain. It’s what has kept Hildreth’s in business for decades and will surely keep them in business for many more decades. “I’m blessed to have my wife and my family and a nice job,” says Henry, before he and his family climb into their trucks and set off on their morning deliveries. 51-55 Main St., Southampton, 283-2300; 15 W.

Horseback culture has a humble Hamptons history, but the true role of riding in the Hamptons is being challenged by factors that threaten its precious peace. By Emily J. Weitz

orseback riding is part of the Hamptons’ identity: elegant and wild, beautiful and free. A generation ago, backyard horses were a common sight as children rode through wide-open fields to gallop along the beaches. Capturing that spirit, The Hampton Classic, the single-largest event on the Hamptons summer calendar, grew from the deep roots of equestrianism on the East End. Wick Hotchkiss, who has won gold, silver, and bronze medals from the United States Dressage Federation, is the second-generation owner and manager of Stony Hill Stables. She grew up riding the open spaces of the East End and recalls

galloping down Red Dirt Road when it was actually dirt. “We used to ride down Old Stone Highway to the beach,” she says. “My mom was everyone’s second mom, and we’d stay at the stables all day long.” For people drawn to horses, hours can be spent at the barn. There are always chores to be done: sweeping the aisles, grooming the horses, mucking out stalls. But in between, that’s when the creative play happens: games in the hay bales, soccer on horseback, or quiet time alone with a peaceful thoroughbred. Where the general rule used to be that a kid came and cared for her horse before and after riding, now, Hotchkiss says, most

stables offer full care. When the rider arrives for a lesson, the horse is tacked up and ready to go. When the rider finishes, she hands the horse off to the groom and goes home. “It didn’t used to be that way,” said Hotchkiss. “Whether you were the child of a billionaire or the child of a fisherman, you did your own grooming. Now, because of the pace of life, full care is common practice. But we’ve tried to encourage kids here to be wellrounded horse people.” Bobby Ginsberg is a Grand Prix show jumper and trainer, and as he prepares to run the training program at the brand-new Campbell Stables in Bridgehampton, he hopes clients will experience

here are a number of threats to this wellrounded approach to equestrianism. While there’s great value in showing— teaching children about sportsmanship, healthy competition, and confidence—there are also struggles. For some, the horse show has become so important that the process gets lost. Kids who ride multiple horses will jump from one to the next, focused on winning the blue ribbon without taking the time to cultivate that bond with an animal. “In some places, [riding] is not for fun,” says Maureen Bluedorn, president of the Stony Hill

“We believe in the power of the horse and how horses help people.”—MAX ROHN Stables Foundation, who fears that the culture risks losing its joy. “It’s something to be done well, to get a ribbon for—to win. The expectations of children have changed.” The holistic experience of riding and caring for an animal is deeply valuable, but the cost has also become prohibitive in many cases, despite our community’s prosperity. Bluedorn’s Stony Hill Stables Foundation exists as a way to give this experience to anyone who seeks it, regardless of financial status, with the goal of keeping the culture of riding alive. “It’s about a love for these animals and for the lifestyle out here,” Bluedorn says. “The foundation looks at what riding was once like [in the Hamptons], and how we can re-create that in today’s environment.” First Blue LLC at Rose Hill Farm, for instance, has a committed group of riders on the show circuit, but the management team tries to keep its priorities in order, even when the pressure to win is high. “We are competition-oriented, but we try to keep it safe and fun,” says Jenna Esposito, manager of First Blue. “A lot of our kids show against one another, but it’s more important that they get a friendship out of it.”

Jenna Weinfurt, owner of First Blue, hired Esposito, her longtime friend and riding companion, as manager in 2013. Their shared experience growing up riding in Patchogue and Manorville helps define how they run the barn. “We used to have so much fun,” Weinfurt recalls. “We were able to run through the fields and go out on the trails bareback. We try to keep it fun and exciting for the kids… but it’s not like you’re in the woods and free.” When you walk into First Blue, the laughter of girls can be heard bouncing through the aisles. Drawings of horses and riders, blue ribbons, and hearts wallpaper the barn office. There are ponies on cross ties with 12-year-olds picking their hooves. The management believes that these aspects of horsemanship are an important complement to showing. “It’s a great instiller of responsibility,” Esposito says. “Horses are super sensitive, and kids need to be aware of their ponies’ needs.” According to Bluedorn, the largest threat to the down-home heritage of riding in the Hamptons is land development. Stony Hill, for example, sits on 10 acres in Amagansett, and developers would pay a lot of money for that property. Sadly, Hotchkiss has watched as many of her neighbor-

the lifestyle of riding, not just the training and showing. “When I grew up, I didn’t know what a groom was,” Ginsberg says. “I get frustrated when I see kids riding with me who don’t know how to tack up their horses.” Campbell Stables is a full-service barn, and no expense was spared in the building of the facility, from the materials used to construct the barn to the flooring the horses stand on. There are even amenities, such as a second-story viewing lounge where refreshments are available. Still, Ginsberg values caring for the horses above all other concerns. “There’s a lot that people don’t experience nowadays because of the sport and the industry,” he says. “People come to ride and practice their hobby and then they go off to do something else. I’d like to see people coming to the barn not just for a lesson, but also to stay and brush their horse and show appreciation to the animal.”

ing backyard barns have disappeared. This extends to the trails where people once rode. Paths to the ocean have been swallowed up by private estates, and roads that were once trails have become paved and busy. Organizations like the Peconic Land Trust have worked to preserve some of the land that riders have historically enjoyed, but the market’s insatiability makes every precious parcel worth its weight in gold. Around Stony Hill, there are fields and woods where riders can still feel the wildness of untamed land, galloping through tall grasses as the wind whips through their hair. With more than 100 acres, Wölffer Estate Stables is able to give riders a different feeling of escape. Here, riders focus on their training in hunter/jumper competitions, and grooms take care of the horses before and after training sessions. “For those who participate in the circuit, showing is very important,” says Raquel Batto, barn manager at Wölffer Estate Stables, a fullservice barn. “We have riders at Wölffer who compete at high-level competitions all over the country.” Still, she says, the feeling of peacefulness and friendliness is an important part of the culture at the stable. There are kids and dogs running around, and the overall mood is one of community. To that end, Wölffer hosts the Center for Therapeutic Riding of the East End (CTREE), whose goal is to utilize horses to help children and young adults with cognitive, physical, or

emotional disabilities. “We see the impact of horses on children’s lives,” says Max Rohn, general manager of Wölffer Estate Vineyard. “We believe in the power of the horse and how horses help people. Riding is such an exclusive sport; giving CTREE a home is a meaningful way for us to give back.” There are dozens of stables in the Hamptons. Some, like Matt Lauer and Annette Roque’s Bright Side Farm, cater to high-end clientele. With overstuffed leather couches and coffee tables in the lounge, it’s not quite the down-anddirty barn experience. Each oversized stall has its own watering hose and hay drop and overlooks the beautiful landscapes; the whole design of the place is geared toward luxury. As the pace of life picks up and the landscape of the Hamptons changes, the role of riding in people’s lives inevitably evolves. But horses don’t change. The stillness, the trust, and the unconditional love they give to their companions are constant, and they call riders back to a simplicity that’s all the more needed in today’s busy world. “When children come to the stable, they’re not on computers or playing games on their phones,” Bluedorn says. “They disconnect from that world here.” This is the heritage of equestrianism in the Hamptons: to reconnect to the natural world, to taste life at a horse’s pace. “There’s a romantic, wonderful history out here,” Bluedorn says. “And it needs to be preserved.” H

oward Graham Buffett has no idea how old he was when he first became aware that something called “philanthropy” existed. While his father, financier Warren Buffett, “was busy making money” and building his reputation as the sage of Omaha, his mother, Susan Thompson Buffett, spent “a huge amount of her time engaged in something that helped or supported other people.” As they grew, Howard, as well as his elder sister, Susie, and younger brother, Peter, were caught up in these projects. “It started with giving away time,” Howard Buffett, 59 years old, recalls. “A big part of my education was seeing my mom act on (her) beliefs, not just talk about them.” The lessons he learned included an awareness of what distinguishes effective philanthropy from simply sitting down at the end of every year to write a few checks or buying a table for a friend’s charitable gala. By the time he was an adult, Buffett says he realized philanthropy—at its best—“is about listening to people, and trying to understand their core needs and find a way to address them.”

involved. “In some cases, an aging benefactor has decided he wants to see his philanthropic gifts fully dispersed while he’s still living; sometimes it’s a personal experience or event, such as a trip by two members of one family to Ghana, which then became a focus of their philanthropy,” says Susan Ditkoff, a partner at Bridgespan, a nonprofit advisory group, and co-head of the firm’s philanthropy practice. One element of “next gen” philanthropy that may startle some older parents or grandparents is their heirs’ preference for and sometimes insistence upon high-impact or transformative giving. Today’s younger donors have relatively little interest in seeing their names immortalized on hospital wings, theater auditoriums, or college lecture halls. They define “community” in a very different way, as something that isn’t confined to a narrow geographic area or a particular religious or ethnic grouping. They’re also more likely to tackle ambitious programs. Bill and Melinda Gates, who have publicly declared their resolve to eradicate endemic diseases such as polio and malaria within their lifetimes, are the poster children for this approach. What distinguishes the Gateses, of course, is

philanthropy is a panacea that can bridge all gaps is a fallacy,” says Karoff. “A baby won’t fix a bad marriage; philanthropy won’t make a dysfunctional family functional once more.” Gillian Howell, the national Philanthropic Solutions group executive at US Trust, says it’s best to start preparing both sides to make compromises as early as possible. “One of the most memorable events I witnessed involved a wealthy family, who began an annual series of New England vacation weekends focused on philanthropy by asking the youngest members of the family the question of how they would like to change the world,” she recalls. The patriarch and matriarch were so moved by what they heard that they were very open to the idea of changing the governance and even ultimately diluting or reshaping the mission of the foundation they had created in order to incorporate their young heirs’ insights and vision. While parents and grandparents may fear that large gaps exist between the generaut introducing chiltions—and underestimate the dren to the concept extent to which they need to and reality of famcompromise to fully engage ily philanthropy at their heirs—when push comes a very young age to shove, there’s far more doesn’t mean they’ll follow alignment than family elders where their elders lead as they may assume.

That’s the one who made the wealth, “they feel that they earned it, and it’s theirs to give case for Howard Buffett and his foundation, which was seeded with gifts away in whatever way they choose.” Sometimes, there are gulfs that can’t be from his parents and in recent years has been supplemented by signifibridged.

and simply handing heirs a family foundation to administer isn’t enough these days. Goldseker explains, “It isn’t possible just to bring those individuals into the status quo.

agricultural projects to support. “I want to transfer the knowledge and sense of commitment to my children,” which includes his wife’s four daughters, whom Buffett has helped raise, along with his son, Howard Warren Buffett. At the same time, he adds, “I don’t want that to stop me from doing the biggest things that I can today. I’m going to put all my time and resources into addressing these issues.” Buffett said his son had visited 58 countries by the time he went to college— and “our destinations weren’t places like Paris and Cancún.” Three of the children now sit on the board of Buffett’s foundation, and trustees are designated $20,000 apiece every year to direct to projects of their own choice that fit within the broader mission of the foundation.

aking a flexible strategy with the legal and financial components of philanthropic giving is as essential as when dealing with generational differences. For decades the family foundation has been the default-giving vehicle. While foundations allow a family unlimited, multigenerational control over grant making, the tax deductions for contributions are less generous than for other vehicles, such as donor-advised funds. (For instance, if donating company stock, family members can deduct its cost; if they are donating to a donoradvised fund, they can deduct the often significantly higher fair market value of those securities.) By some estimates, 70 percent of all foundations have assets of less than $1 million, a level that most experts consider to be inefficient. Michael Cole, president of Ascent Private Capital Management, says that while a foundation—which requires its members to keep tabs of investments, governance, and taxes as well as evaluating and monitoring grants—can be “a great financial parenting and educational tool,” unless a family has or plans to donate more than $10 million to the foundation, the administrative costs are too high to justify this option. The other most popular vehicle is the donor-advised fund, established

under the umbrella of sponsoring organizations, such as community foundations. In recent years a range of nonprofits and special divisions of banks and investment companies like Fidelity have offered opportunities for families to establish their own DAFs. However, there are more constraints: Donors can only suggest or advise, rather than dictate, where they want grants to go; and children who serve as advisors cannot earn a salary for doing so. But for a growing number of families, the lower overhead costs, higher tax deductions, and the increasing ability to bring in children or grandchildren as “co-advisors” are outweighing some of the disadvantages. While families might want to ponder the tax considerations associated with various philanthropic vehicles, the decision about whether or not to be philanthropic is almost never made for financial reasons. “The tax breaks you get for charitable giving are no greater than those you get for losing money in the stock market, and nobody invests in stocks with the intent of losing money,” points out Ramsay Slugg, wealth strategies advisor at US Trust. For Howard Buffett, the biggest challenge for philanthropists isn’t whether to set up a foundation or DAF. “The worst thing you can do is to live in your comfort zone,” he says. In the late 1980s, Buffett and his siblings were each allowed to determine the target(s) of $100,000 per year for their parents’ new foundation. In 1999, each of the children received $26.5 million from them to start their individual foundations. “Hey, many of my ideas were stupid,” he admits, recalling the notion of funding a camel dairy for Western Sahara refugees. “You learn fast to think hard about what to support, but at least the mistakes were small, while the lessons were big.” Nonetheless he encourages his children to venture into new areas. “I can be a bit of a dictator, but I know that it’s important for the next generation to challenge me, to have someone with a view that’s a little less myopic ask me tough questions. These are the formative experiences that they’ll be putting in their memory banks and drawing on in the decades to come.” H

Nest Egg

Launching the Birds Nest Foundation has helped Southampton’s Richards family make charity a family affair. One of Dylan Richards’s earliest memories is of a Susan G. Komen Foundation fundraising walk. “I was in a jogging stroller,” the now 18-year-old college freshman recalls. Over the years, runs in the park, 50-mile bike rides, and other endeavors with family patriarch Bruce, the founder of hedge fund giant Marathon Asset Management; mother Avis, a media producer, director and philanthropist; and daughter, Chloe, have followed—all to raise money or deliver hands-on help for a variety of causes.

Philanthropy has become a family business for the Richards clan since Avis launched the Birds Nest Foundation (birds nestfoundation.org), that provides nonprofit charities operating on shoestring budgets with media content (documentaries, videos, and public service announcements) that they can use to raise funds or awareness. Chloe is on the organization’s board, while several cousins have volunteered or interned at the foundation. “Technology is moving so fast that the need for media and storytelling

is never ending,” says Dylan, whose series on Taxi TV, Dylan’s Lunchbox, showcases the healthiest and tastiest restaurants in New York and the Hamptons. “We have the only nonprofit that is focused on giving other nonprofits a voice. Chloe and I will want to continue growing what our mother started.” Meanwhile Chloe recently led a young professional campaign to raise funds for the R Baby Foundation (rbabyfoundation. org), whose goal is to improve emergency pediatric emergency care.

Haute Property NEWS, STARS, AND TRENDS IN REAL ESTATE

Storied Estates PHEASANT POND IN THE VILLAGE OF SOUTHAMPTON IS THE LATEST PRIVATE COMMUNITY TO SEE GIANT SALES. BY MIKE OLSON

PHOTOGRAPHY BY GARY NOLAN

here once the Hamptons were divided into large parcels of land adorned with the great estate of a prominent Manhattan tycoon, today many of those historic properties have been subdivided into smaller lots with more conservative-size mansions. Take Fordune, for instance, the approximately 40 estate-sized parcels west of Mecox Bay that were subdivided from the 235-acre estate of Henry Ford II (grandson of the industrialist) to create an exclusive community with deeded ocean access. Just southwest off Wickapogue Pond sits the Murray-McDonnell compound, 300 acres that were home to one of the East End’s most prominent families. Today, their subdivided property is a collection of coveted mini-estates run by three homeowners’ associations. Just as grand estates once ruled the Hamptons, today it’s the enclaves that have been created in their footprints that hold cachet. Whether it’s Cobblefield Lane, adjacent to Southampton High School, or Olde Towne, a 50-acre farm field about to be transformed into a 10-home development

after nearly a decade in limbo, private communities have emerged as a new sort of status symbol. Now, one of Southampton’s most special enclaves—and certainly its most centrally located—is ready to welcome one fortunate family. Developed in the mid-’90s, the 50 homes that make up Pheasant Pond sit a short distance from the best that south-of-the-highway Southampton has to offer. And one six-bedroom stucco traditional on Pheasant Close West is hitting the market at just the right time. “It’s the best value in Pheasant Pond right now,” says Jay Flagg, an associate real estate broker at Saunders. “Brand-new construction is selling for top dollar. Then there are teardowns, which people are buying pretty much at lot value. This is somewhere in between, where it’s a substantial home, but because it was built in 1996, somebody is going to want to upgrade.” The buyer of this home will have a lot to work with in roughly 6,000 continued on page 124

This stucco home on 1.38 acres includes landscaped grounds, heated pool, and a pool pavilion.

HAUTE PROPERTY

The home has a formal dining room as well as an eat-in kitchen.

“People in Pheasant Pond appreciate the quiet streets where children can ride their bikes.”—jay flagg continued from page 123 square feet of living area that includes a doubleheight living room, a large eat-in-kitchen, and a formal dining room. Upstairs, two east-facing balconies (one off the master, the other off a shared landing) create scenic gathering spots, while the lower level can easily be expanded beyond its current media, billiards, and refrigerated wine rooms. “Being in the village is always prime,” adds Flagg, of the property that boasts 1.4 acres including a slate patio, a heated pool with pavilion, and even a lily pond, and is near Southampton Village’s shops, restaurants, and ocean beaches. “People in Pheasant Pond appreciate the quiet streets where children can ride their bikes.” Those streets are maintained by Pheasant Pond’s homeowners’ association, which takes care of the private roads and streetlights, as well as the pond itself and egress areas on the north and south shores that give all residents access to the water. Together, the community is accessed by three entrances (via Narrow Lane, Wickapogue Road, and Downs Path) that could be gated like the Murray-McDonnell compound, but are instead kept open by an HOA

124

that doesn’t want to wall itself off. “You don’t get a lot of through traffic because it’s mostly residents,” says Carol Nobbs, a broker at Douglas Elliman, who has sold numerous homes in Pheasant Pond over the years. In that time, Nobbs has seen many a buyer won over by the sense of community here, fostered by everything from a shared directory that holds every owner’s contact information to the occasional cocktail party that is thrown to introduce new residents. As more buyers are lured to this little slice of Southampton, such gatherings are growing more and more necessary. It was Nobbs who helped put this area on the high-end real estate map when she brokered the first eyebrow-raising sale at Pheasant Pond, topping $6 million in 2007. Naturally, the economic downturn took its toll, but things have bounced back—and then some. “Prices have skyrocketed over the past couple of years,” says Nobbs, who is currently listing a home on the pond for $6.99 million. For additional proof, see the bidding war that was recently waged over a new construction on the pond. Eventually, that home went for $8.8 million—more than its asking price. Saunders’ Flagg is confident that another new home currently rising on the banks of the eponymous pond will fetch over $10 million when it

hits the market. And it’s why he sees so much value in his stucco traditional, just steps away, that is asking only $5 million. “New construction sells for substantially more, so these buyers will get built-in equity,” says Flagg. “This home will appeal to somebody who is not afraid of putting money into a place and remodeling.” Considering the growing popularity of Pheasant Pond, it appears that whoever is willing to take on the task will be handsomely rewarded.

INSIGHT Historic homestead: James McDonnell, Murray-McDonnell clan patriarch, was a financier who predicted the 1929 stock market crash. His wife, Anna Murray McDonnell, was the daughter of Thomas Edison’s partner, Thomas E. Murray. The couple had 14 children, each of whom received a three-acre parcel in the subdivided compound. Some of the family’s descendants still live there to this day. Notable neighbor: Henry Ford II’s 16,000-square-foot European-inspired mansion, Fordune, built in 1960, still stands today on 44 oceanfront acres.

The double-height living room gives the 6,000-squarefoot home a light, airy ambience.

Child’s Play G

ardens are not just for grown-ups. Children need special private places where they can create their own world and find some shelter—not only from the sun, but sometimes, even from adults. Hamptons life can be hectic, with kids racing from camp to the beach to tennis and swimming lessons and then to birthday parties. A unique place to unwind and use their imagination is a wonderful bonus

to the green spaces that make Hamptonites cherish our South Fork homes. As one drives through the East End, these secret places created for kids to call their own can be glimpsed through the gates, hedges, and tall trees.

continued from page 130 Bridgehampton, decided to build a Chippendale playhouse on four white columns for his two grandsons, John and Jamie. He wanted them to have a special house of their own that reflected his daughter Whitney’s home and reminded him of Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello in Virginia. The white structure has a unique, pagodalike roof that is painted to look as if it has a copper patina. Because the boys love them, real copper flags fly on top, and a bright red ladder leads upward while a swing stands beside. The boys often spend hours inside; some days one stays up and one down below, and they send things back and forth on pulleys of their own creation. Other times, they have friends over and pretend the house is a fort in need of defending. East Hampton garden designer Craig James Socia (craigsocia.com) created a fairy playhouse in Southampton for a little girl who loves stories about princesses. He erected a fanciful twig house and covered it with climbing New Dawn roses, clematis, and blue thunbergia vines, and surrounded it with her favorite pastel flowers: pink dahlias, foxglove, gaura, Architect Campion Platt of Water Mill created a playhouse that sits on stilts and has a sandbox below for his three children, Riva, Fox, and Xenia.

Lynn St. John, a Bridgehampton photographer, used Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello as inspiration for the four-columned Chippendale playhouse he built for his grandsons, John and Jamie Fairchild.

“The kids were so excited they had a secure place of their own.” lime hydrangea, white tobacco plants, blue agastache, and salvia. The magical house, filled with a tiny twig table and chairs with pink and green hydrangea-printed cushions, is approached by a thyme-covered bluestone path. At night, battery-powered candles grace the table, and soft lights illuminate an enchanted garden. Architect Campion Platt created a circular 12-foot platform for a gazebo on his Water Mill property many years ago, but he never got around to building the structure. It sat with views of the water, enclosed by trees, offering shade. He planned on a tall outbuilding, but after Hurricane Sandy, he decided to build something more stable and closer to the ground for his three children—Riva, 3, Xenia, 4, and Fox, 5. He bought a six-footby-six-foot, ready-made shingled playhouse that he could modify to sit on the platform and installed it as a surprise last summer, creating a beautiful stone path leading to it. “It’s great for camping out,” says Platt. We bring in a mattress, cookies, and books [and] I wear a miner’s helmet for light.” The house sits on stilts, with a sandbox below. “The kids were so excited they had a secure place of their own,” says Platt who, along with his wife, Tatiana, planted goldenrod, lilies, and rhododendrons alongside the structure. “It’s safe and fenced in; it’s nestled in the trees. The girls love the play kitchen we put inside. Fox, Xenia, and Riva have a whole box of costumes, and there is also a slide. They inhabit their private space. The three of them are so busy, so they really appreciate it.” H

“O

ceanfront properties are still very much in demand,” says Corcoran associate real estate broker Tim Davis, who recently sold Wooldon Manor in Southampton—and this was not just the first time. First, the house with four parcels sold for $75 million, then with one parcel for $50 million, and three additional parcels were then sold for over $31 million. This season, Davis’ eight new oceanfront listings have found similar success. “Two of them have already gone into contract,” he explains. “That’s a very active market.” Over the years, Davis has learned just what buyers want out of these prominent —TIM DAVIS properties, including large amounts of frontage and the flexibility to expand on the existing structure. But the market is always changing, whether it was the Village of Sagaponack incorporating in 2005 or FEMA redrawing flood maps post-Sandy, and that puts a priority on knowing how to adjust. “Once you’ve been doing this as long as I have, you understand that not all the oceanfront is the same,” Davis adds. “You really need to deal with someone who knows to ask the right questions.” Given his expertise, it’s no surprise that Davis has become the go-to broker for such trophy estates. “I’ve probably sold more oceanfront properties than anyone else in the Hamptons,” says Davis. “It’s still considered the most valuable and the most sought after. What is the ultimate? It’s having a house on the ocean.” 88 Main St., Southampton, 283-7300; corcoran.com

ast End equestrians have long been familiar with Two Trees Farm, home to the Bridgehampton Polo Club and host of the social event of the summer, the Mercedes-Benz Polo Challenge. Now, longtime guests of this world-class facility can own these 65 acres, which include not only high goal polo fields but also a premiere hunter-jumper stable. “It can support both,” says Douglas Elliman salesperson Morgan White. “That’s unique not only to the Hamptons, but to farms anywhere in the country.” The $25 million asking price buys not only expansive acreage in a prime Bridgehampton location, but also the many years of work that the current owners, Jane and David Walentas, put into the facility, which includes two indoor arenas and three outdoor rings. “Even if you were to find 65 acres of agricultural reserve, it would be virtually impossible to get permits for two indoor arenas,” adds White. “There are also 100 stalls in three barns and staff housing with eight apartments.” On top of an original but renovated four-bedroom farmhouse, —MORGAN WHITE tennis court, pool, and guesthouse (also with four bedrooms), the new owner will also be first in line to purchase one, a few, or all of the 17 buildable lots adjacent to the 65-acre farm. All will make up the area’s most coveted new development. No wonder White, a rider herself, is so awed by this listing. “It’s just stunning and incredibly special,” she says. “It’s an opportunity that’s not going to come around every day.” 70 Jobs Lane, Southampton, 204-2768; elliman.com H

LIVING THE LIFE An Arianna motor yacht similar to the model used by Bruce Tait & Associates for chartered sails from the East End to New England and beyond. INSET: The yacht’s upper aft deck.

Sea and Be Seen From cruising on Fashion-Forward yachts outFitted with private cheFs to an all-hands-on-deck Fishing expedition, the open water provides the ultimate hamptons experience.

he Hamptons is heralded for its landlocked shopping and dining, however the East End also offers picturesque horizons unlike anywhere else in the world. Boat charters offer some of the most luxurious ways to experience this celebrated part of Hamptons living. From day trips to weekend getaways and adventurous expeditions, there are a number of ways to garner a new perspective on this waterfront community. Bruce Tait & Associates (725-4222; tait yachts.com) has been a family business for more than 20 years, surviving the economic ebb and

flow, and always maintaining a loyal customer base that often first discovers the joy of being on the water by experiencing an East End charter. “Sunset is my favorite time to be on the water,” says charter manager and partner Danielle Barton. “The light is really spectacular. I’ve booked a lot of charters and there’s nothing like an afternoon sail, anchoring, and a nice dinner. There is something quite magical when the sun goes down. The light on board changes and the ship takes on an inner glow.” Itineraries are custom designed and can range from a simple half-day charter with picnic

for family and friends to a three-day weekend cruise to Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard, or Cape Cod. There are even options for longer trips, including sails to far-off destinations, such as the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, and even Southeast Asia. Tait’s luxe Heron catamaran accommodates approximately 20 guests and is the ideal vessel for a sunset cruise. The Mangusta motor yacht packs power and is ideal for transporting a 12-person party to destinations like Shelter Island’s Sunset Beach. For longer weekend continued on page 138

“ Sunset is my favorite time to be on the water; the light is really spectacular.” —danielle barton

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: a Hinckley

Talaria 44; after lunch aboard a Barton & Gray Hinckley; a berth decorated with fabrics, pillows, towels, and blankets from Serena & Lily.

Combining craftsmanship, innovation, and engineering, Hinckleys are some of the most coveted yachts in the industry, but to take B&G’s presence to another level, it enlisted the design expertise of Serena & Lily (serenaandlily.com). Founders Serena Dugan and Lily Kanter custom designed the yacht with their flair for color and pattern and using their signature textiles. Decorative highlights include durable cushions in Rockport outdoor fabric, a graphic design with vibrant reds, blues, and corals; a reimagined toile in tomato red, chambray, and white that playfully pays homage to the sea; and a generous supply of Brahms Mount Banded Herringbone cotton throws. Of course, no water vessel is complete without a stock of beach towels. Serena & Lily’s Fouta towels features smooth cotton on one side and

looped cotton terry on the other, maximizing absorption for those multiple dips in the water. “We wanted the design for this Barton & Gray partnership to have a classic nautical vibe, but also to keep the look very fresh, like nothing you’ve ever seen on a yacht before,” says Dugan and Kanter. “We did this by using a traditional Americana color palette of red, white, and blue in an unexpected mix of patterns. The geometrics really pop against the backdrop of the clean yacht and glassy blue water.” For Captain Missy Mellor, who launched Little Dutch Sailing Charters (917-513-5724; littledutchsailing.com) this season, a lifelong love for the ocean has finally evolved into a passionate business model that connects participants to their surroundings. continued on page 140

For those with a penchant for convenience, Barton & Gray Mariners Club (617-728-3555; bartonandgray.com) offers a membership-based program with 13 locations worldwide. “We have a few people who are lifetime boaters, but the vast number of our members are people who just want to be on the water,” says Wil Lockman, director of business development.

NATURE DOESN’T NEED PEOPLE. PEOPLE NEED NATURE. Human beings are part of nature. Nature is not dependent on human beings to exist. Human beings, on the other hand, are totally dependent on nature to exist. The growing number of people on the planet and how we live here is going to determine the future of nature. And the future of us. Nature will go on, no matter what. It will evolve. The question is will it be with us or without us. If nature could talk, it would probably say it doesn’t much matter either way. We must understand there are aspects of how our planet evolves that are totally out of our control.

But there are things that we can manage, control and do responsibly that will allow us and the planet to evolve together.

We are Conservation International and we need your help. Our movement is dedicated to managing those things we can control. Better. Country by country. Business by business. Human by human. We are not about us vs. them. It doesn’t matter if you’re an American, a Canadian, or a Papua New Guinean. You don’t even have to be particularly fond of the ocean or have a soft spot for elephants. This is simply about all of us coming together to do what needs to be done. Because if we don’t, nature will continue to evolve. Without us. Here’s to the future. With humans.

However, showing people the pleasure of being on the open water is Kramer’s favorite part of captaining fishing excursions. “The water is turquoise blue. You see the sunrise and sunset.

Day, sunset, or full-day sails can accommodate up to six guests, while a weekend charter is suitable for a cozy four, plus Mellor and one crew member. “They get to see the beautiful marshes and shoreline, indigenous birds, and wildlife,” says Mellor. “You can be at the Met on Friday and sailing on Saturday. Long Island is extraordinary!” Captain Max Kramer of Remark Charters (259-6461; remarkcharters.com) has seen the Hamptons community evolve from a baymen’s society to one of lavish homes and Manhattanites seeking respite from the daily grind.

THE HAMPTONS’ FINEST

Homestead SEASONED MONTAUK RESTAURATEURS NICK HATSATOURIS AND LINCOLN PILCHER MOVE WEST WITH MOBY’S. BY ERIN RILEY

“W

e want it to feel like you’re in someone’s home,” says co-owner Nick Hatsatouris about the “polished yet laid-back” interiors of his new restaurant in Amagansett. The three spaces—a beautifully appointed main dining room, cabanalike patio, and sprawling back garden—all offer a uniquely different dining experience. “The location has so much history—it’s been fun to see guests come in to check out the latest incarnation and be really excited about it.” Hatsatouris and business partner Lincoln Pilcher have been spending summers out East for nearly a decade, operating the Montauk spot Moby Dick’s for the past two summers. “We love it out here and felt like there was great opportunity in Amagansett,” says Hatsatouris. The pair also runs the trendy Eveleigh in Los Angeles and they helmed Kingswood in the West Village for eight successful

years. “New York City definitely prepares you for a fast-paced environment and that is exactly what you get with these summer projects,” says the Australian-born restaurateur. “The West Village also taught us the importance of building up a diverse clientele while looking after your regulars.” Tuscan kale salad, spaghettini with shrimp and cherry tomatoes, and the wood-fired margherita pizza are among the fresh classics that chef Gary King (who previously worked at Craft, Cookshop, and Il Buco before manning Moby Dick’s) brings to the table, sourcing most produce from Balsam Farms, Amber Waves Farm, Satur Farms, and seafood entirely from Montauk. “That’s how LA prepared us,” Hatsatouris says. “The produce on the West Coast is amazing, so working directly with the farmer and fisherman is something we have grown accustomed to and very much cherish.” 341 Pantigo Road, Amagansett, 527-5388; mobysny.com H

Round Swamp Farm is run by four generations of the same family.

Originally opened in 1954, the market reopened in 2008 when owner Eli Zabar partnered with Peconic Land Trust. “Since reopening, we have expanded our offerings to include fresh bread and pastries baked on the premises and now our famous egg sandwiches, which often draw a line!” says Zabar, who focuses on sourcing from both the North and South Fork. 367 Main St., Amagansett, 267-3894; elizabar.com

Amber Waves Farm Since establishing the farm in 2009, founders Katie Baldwin and Amanda Merrow have more than tripled the leased agricultural acreage from the Peconic Land Trust, while the farm’s Community Supported Agriculture program has expanded to 125 families.

“Members come to the farm once a week to pick up a box of organic vegetables harvested at peak ripeness, and CSA members can add Carissa’s Breads, Mecox Bay Dairy cheese, and fruit from Briermere Farms to their weekly share,” says Baldwin. 375 Main St., Amagansett; amberwavesfarm.org

Balsam Farms The project of two Cornell University friends, Balsam Farms utilizes approximately 60 acres of rented land between Amagansett and Sagaponack that yield over 75 varieties of tomatoes. Its famous corn is offered fresh or roasted. This fall, expect a bountiful harvest of winter squash, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, and pumpkins. Town Lane at Windmill Lane, Amagansett, 255-9417; balsamfarms.com

Fairview Farm at Mecox “Since launching our retail farm stand and corn maize in 2001, we have vastly expanded in offerings and sales volume year-by-year,” says owner Harry Ludlow. Fairview also operates a commercial kitchen, which produces fresh granola, cookies, pies, and jams. 19 Horsemill Lane, Bridgehampton, 537-6154; fairviewfarmatmecox.com

Green Thumb A 12th-generation operation, Raymond Halseys’ farm has been certified organic, which involved natural farming practices like crop rotation and biodynamic preparations, since the ’80s. While the focus remains on homegrown produce, the farmstand now offers local and artisanal products like cheeses from Mecox Bay Dairy

PASSION PROJECT Patty Gentry’s Early Girl Farm uses natural materials to grow nutrient-packed produce. “When we first started the farmstand in 2010, all we had was a cash box—people would help themselves and leave the money,” explains owner Patty Gentry, whose farm has come a long way since. “We even take credit cards now, which has really catapulted us into a new era.” Gentry focuses on keeping the soil healthy by adding ocean minerals, compost tea, and essential oils, which also ensures the resulting vegetables are packed with nutrients. 177 Montauk Hwy., Center Moriches, 831-1623; earlygirlfarm.com

Round Swamp Farm Four generations work sideby-side at this farm-cummarketplace. Located behind the market is a 16-acre farm helmed by Charlie Niggles and his son, Steven, who oversee a team that handpicks every piece of produce. Other offerings include fresh baked goods, juices, and prepared meals and sides that change with the seasons. 184 Three Mile Harbor Road, East Hampton, 324-4438; roundswampfarm.com

Serene Green Inc. Since the 1640s, owner John Smith’s family has worked as farmers in Water Mill, which ultimately led to his launching Serene Green Inc. in 2010. “It’s a true family effort,” he says. “We support local, generational farmers, dairy farmers (Mecox Bay Dairy and Catapano Dairy), and fishermen from Montauk and Shinnecock.” Other offerings include dips, dressings, and grab-and-go salads by chef Peter Ambrose, Bees Needs local honey, and freshly roasted coffee from Java Nation. 3980 Noyac Road, Sag Harbor, 334-6311; serenegreeninc.com H

THE END...

T he Journey

THE DRIVE OUT EAST IS AS MUCH A BELOVED TRADITION AS THE MEMORIES MADE AFTER YOU ARRIVE. BY KELLY BEHUN

o much of a New Yorker’s experience of the Hamptons is the journey getting there and back. My husband and I have been coming out for the past 20 years, generally by car. While over the years the cars have changed and grown larger to accommodate the kids, dogs, and stuff of life, our method is always the same: to leave as late at night as possible—late heading eastbound to avoid the rush, and late heading westbound because we want to hold on to the weekends as long as possible. For our 10th anniversary, my husband started what has become a cherished tradition. He began donating to “Sponsor a Highway” in my name, to commemorate our July 4 wedding—the sign is on Sunrise Highway and it changes each summer to kick off another year. My father was always fond of the Ralph Waldo Emerson quote “Life is a journey, not a destination,” but I must respectfully disagree when it comes

to the Hamptons. For us it is a destination like no other. And yet there is something about the journey that allows the anticipation to build and makes the arrival that much sweeter, which is why I try to ignore the traffic, the construction, and the crazy drivers and instead feel grateful to be making the trip in the first place. I am grateful that my children’s memories of growing up here will be filled with remembrances of the beautiful beaches, the sea and salt air, the countless bonfires and carnivals, the farms and the food, and all of them filtered by the famous quality of light that drew us here to begin with. So while the late-night trips back to the city are usually tinged with a bit of sadness to be leaving, the highway sign reminds me that we’ll keep coming back year after year, that we’re still on the road together, and that there is no place else on earth I’d rather be.
